Woodstock, IL-- Hands Off!: is an international digital photography
juried exhibition at 621 Gallery in Tallahassee, FL.
Participants must submit three JPEG files of original
work. Images must be shot with a digital camera and
can be manipulated digitally. The show will run from
September 7-28, 2007.

Hands Off! is a digital photography exhibition showing
a new phenomenon in art: the ability for the artist to
create a finished piece without ever touching the
artwork. This juried exhibition gives the opportunity for
emerging and well-known artists to show in an
established venue possibly across the county or world
without the normal astronomical fees involved such as
printing, framing, crating, shipping, and return
shipping.

The Gallery will handle printing and framing
the piece getting it ready for opening night.
Hahnemuhle FineArt is honored to be a part of this
event that helps artists exhibit their work.

Ansley Simmons, VP of the Board of Directors,
stated, "I approached Hahnemuhle FineArt because
as a digital photographer, I trust their paper to help
bring my work to life.

"The generous donation by
Hahnemuhle FineArt gave further incentive to artists to
apply to this unique exhibition opportunity. Any digital
artist would be thrilled to receive their fine art paper! I
am so pleased they decided to be a part of this event
and provide our artists with such a high quality
product."

During the month-long exhibition, over $1000 in cash
and prizes will be awarded. This includes the "Best of
Show" award which will be chosen by juror and image-
maker Robert Fichter. Product sponsors include
Pearon, O'Reily, Focal Press, ExpoImaging, Aperture
Foundation and Hahnemuhle FineArt. There is a $30
entry fee for each artist.
